VB.NET is the same as C# (and vice versa if you want to word that differently). How is VB.NET crap? It's better than VB6. I have yet to see someone have a good reason for saying VB6 is better than VB.NET (most likely because unfortunately there is none). Less dependencies is not a good reason either, because it's really invalid if people really think about that.

One good reason I can think of is that it's very useful for Finance students like me because Excel macros use it. Other than that not so much. I was a "hardcore" VB6 programmer, but VB.Net makes life easier. And I'm not even going to multi-threading, etc.
